Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vertical machining centers, specifically a vertical machining center base. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical machining centers are machining centers where the spindle axis is perpendicular to the worktable. They are mainly suitable for machining complex parts such as plates, discs, molds, and small shells. Vertical machining centers can perform milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and thread cutting. A minimum of three-axis two-linkage machining center is required, and three-axis three-linkage is generally possible. Some can achieve five-axis or six-axis control. The limited column height of a vertical machining center reduces the machining range for box-shaped workpieces, which is a disadvantage. However, vertical machining centers offer advantages such as convenient workpiece clamping and positioning; easy observation of the tool movement trajectory; convenient program debugging, inspection, and measurement; timely problem detection and maintenance; easy establishment of cooling conditions; and direct access of cutting fluid to the tool and machined surface. The three coordinate axes are aligned with the Cartesian coordinate system, providing a clear and intuitive view consistent with the drawing; and easy chip removal and falloff prevent scratching of the machined surface. Compared to corresponding horizontal machining centers, they have a simpler structure, smaller footprint, and lower price.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN220050841U, which discloses a vertical machining center base. The key technical features include: a mounting mechanism and a support mechanism; the mounting mechanism comprises a mounting plate and four mounting brackets; the surface of the mounting plate has two sliding grooves, each containing two sliding seats; the four mounting brackets are fixedly mounted on the tops of the four sliding seats; and each mounting bracket has a mounting groove on its top. The advantages of this invention are: the support mechanism facilitates support of the vertical machining center on the mounting plate; the movable plate and fixed seat expand the support range of the support base, improving the machining stability of the vertical machining center; the positioning structure limits the position of the movable plate; and the mounting structure facilitates the installation of the vertical machining center.
[0004] However, the existing technology lacks a collection device, making it inconvenient to recycle coolant and cutting debris. In order to solve the problem of the inconvenience of recycling coolant and debris in the existing technology, this application separates coolant and debris by using components such as a guide shell and a liquid collection hopper, thereby achieving the effect of collecting coolant and debris separately. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

The drive bar 9 is used to drive the scraper 8 to move, so that the scraper 8 scrapes the debris on the upper surface of the filter screen 4 to both sides by moving, so that the debris on one side falls into the interior of the debris box 5 through the guide shell 2, and the debris on the other side falls into the interior of the debris box 5 through the diverter plate 7 and the guide shell 2, thereby realizing the separation and recycling of coolant and debris.
